The Custom Thruster has undergone its biggest performance update. A new bottom shape has improved the top speed and instant response. More outline curve creates a tighter turning radius and easier turning. Less experienced wave sailors will be able to produce turns like the Pros.
Construction.
A holistically reimagined construction process, consisting of a unique blend of Biaxial, Uni-Directional and Plain Weave into our proprietary Carbon Monocoque – connecting masttrack and stance to rails and bottom, forming a cohesive whole – as well as a full S-Glass hull, enables us to now craft boards identical to our custom boards built on Maui. An tailored Hyper Skin sandwich layout creates the ultimate strength to weight ratio. S-Glass rail bands provide ideal torsional strength, without adding weight or reducing flex.
Description.
Taking our latest and most progressive wave shapes and increasing both length and width ever so slightly results in what is your go-to if you prefer a Thruster setup, yet as radical a wave board as the Quad.
Akin to the Banzai concept, this is essentially one wave board tuned in two ways. Originating from the same new exuberant shapes as the Custom Quad, with the addition of a faster and sharper tail rocker, the Custom Thruster packs even more speed, stability, and waft than the Quad. Easily as radical, the Thruster, however, is a touch more forgiving. The primary target of these progressive boards was applying the learnings from our new favorite Custom Quads and adding even more range to them. Voilà the Custom Thruster 4 Pro Carbon. Generation 4.
Both boards are faster and lighter, with added comfort and control. Custom-built US boxes for lightness and compatibility and removed deck sticker for lightness and sustainability. Keeping in mind how more and more people love the Custom Thruster for bump & jump riding, drove us to also focus on refining the low-end speed characteristics, to plane earlier, jump higher, while not deviating an inch from those radical turns that stay with you long after your session has ended. Hence the Custom Thruster has a more pronounced curved outline than the One, designed for the more wave-oriented rider.
